School Notes:
  • Berlin High School is a public high school located in Berlin, Connecticut. The current high school building on Patterson Way was opened in 1953 and as of 2007, serves grades 9-12. An addition was added to the high school in 1959, which included much-needed science labs and various other rooms. It also underwent technology and handicap code upgrades that were completed in 2000. The Berlin High School community currently includes over 1000 students and hundreds of staff members. An additional round of code renovations is forthcoming, in response to areas of concern identified by a recent visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

  • The campus also includes a newly renovated outdoor track, practice football field, tennis courts, two basketball courts, and a softball field.
  • New High School
  • Due to the growing population in Berlin, the Berlin Board of Education is looking into building a new high school and restructuring the grade level layouts in the existing schools. These plans would possibly involve converting the three existing elementary schools into grades Pre-K through 3rd grade. Catherine M. McGee Middle School would most likely become an intermediate school serving grades 4-5. The existing Berlin High School building on Patterson Way would be converted into the new middle school, serving grades 6-8. The new high school would then take over grades 9-12 in a building that is more modern and technologically advanced. The earliest possible date for the school to be ready is in 2012, but that is unlikely to be met because the plans are still in consideration.
